Who cares about LoC? Its a metric that hasn't mattered since we measured productivity in it in the 1980s. For all we know they made these design choices so they could more easily reuse the code in other codebases. Ideally you'd build the library to do that at the same time, but this is start up time constraints to repay loans and shit.
Bugs and vulnerabilities are roughly linear to lines of code in a project.
"Who cares how much concrete we used in this bridge?"
That would be a sensible comparison if concrete was free
Since when are tokens free?
